  1. Ray TracingGeometry CSE 681

  2. The Camera Model • Based on a simpile pin-hole camera model • Simplest lens model • Pure geometric optics – based on similar triangles • Perfect image if hole infinitely small • Inverted image pin-hole camera simplified pin-hole camera CSE 681

  3. Basic Ray Tracing Algorithm for every pixel { cast a ray from the eye through pixel for every object in the scene find intersections with the ray keep it if closest } compute color at the intersection point } CSE 681

  4. Construct a Ray eye • 3D parametric line r(t) = eye + t (p-eye) r(t): ray equation eye: eye (camera) position p: pixel position t: ray parameter r(t) p t=0 Question: How to calculate the pixel position P? CSE 681

  5. What are given? • Camera (eye) position • View direction or center of interest • Camera orientation (which way is up?) • specified by an “up” vector • Field of view + aspect ratio • Distance to the image plane • Pixel resolutions in x and y “up” vector eye ray CSE 681

  6. Camera Setup “up” vector v n View direction w u We need to have a ‘view coordinate system, i.e., compute the u, v, w vectors u v w w image plane Eye + w goes through the image plane center CSE 681

  7. Camera Setup “up” vector v View direction w u w: known u = w x “up” v = u x w “up” may not be perpendicular to w x: cross product CSE 681 CSE 681

  8. Pixel Calculation Coordinate (in u,v,n space) of upper left corner of screen v yres u w Eye + w xres Assume virtual screen is one unit away (D=1) in w direction Eye + w - (xres/2)*PixelWidth*u + (yres/2)*PixelHeight *v CSE 681

  9. Pixel Calculation Coordinate (in u,v,n space) of upper left corner of screen v yres u w Eye + w xres How do we calculate PixelWidth and PixelHeight? Assume virtual screen is one unit away (D=1) in w direction Eye + w - (xres/2)*PixelWidth*u + (yres/2)*PixelHeight *v CSE 681 CSE 681

  10. Camera Setup (yres/2) * pixelHeight Tan(q/2) = yres*pixelHeight/2D pixelHeight = 2*Tan(qy/2) *D/yres D pixelWidth = 2*Tan(qx/2) *D/xres CSE 681

  11. Screen Placement How do images differ if the resolution doesn’t change? Assume virtual screen is one unit away (D=1) in w direction CSE 681

  12. Pixel Calculation Tan(q/2) = yres*pixelHeight/2 pixelHeight = 2*Tan(qy/2) /yres pixelWidth = 2*Tan(qx/2) /xres Pixel AspectRatio = pixelWidth/pixelHeight Coordinate (in xyz space) of upper left corner of screen = ? CSE 681

  13. Pixel Calculation Coordinate (in xyz space) of upper left corner of screen = ? v u Tan(q/2) = yres*pixelHeight/2 w pixelHeight = 2*Tan(qy/2) /yres Eye + w - (xres/2)*PixelWidth*u + (yres/2)*PixelHeight *v pixelWidth = 2*Tan(qx/2) /xres CSE 681

  14. Pixel Calculation Coordinate (in xyz space) of upper left pixel center = ? Eye + w - (xres/2)*PixelWidth*u + (yres/2)*PixelHeight *v + (pixelWidth/2)*u - (pixelHeight/2)*v CSE 681

  15. Interate through pixel Centers • pixelCenter = • scanlineStart = Eye + • w - • (xres/2)*PixelWidth*u + • (yres/2)*PixelHeight *v + • (pixelWidth/2)*u - • (pixelHeight/2)*v pixelCenter += pixelWidth * u scanlineStart -= pixelHeight * v CSE 681

  16. Pixel loops ScenlineStart = [from previous slide] For each scanline { pixelCenter = scanlineStart For each pixel across { form ray from camera through pixel …. pixelCenter += pixelWidth*u } scanlineStart -= pixelHeight*v } CSE 681

  17. Process Objects • For each pixel { • Form ray from eye through pixel • distancemin = infinity • For each object { • If (distance=intersect(ray,object)) { • If (distance< distancemin) { • closestObject = object • distancemin = distance • } • } • } • Color pixel according to intersection information • } CSE 681

  18. After all objects are tested If (distancemin > infinityThreshold) { pixelColor = background color else pixelColor = color of object at distancemin along ray d ray object eye CSE 681

  19. Ray-Sphere Intersection - geometric Ray Knowns C, r Eye Ray t= |C-eye| d+k = (C-eye) · Ray k s t2= (k+d) 2 + s2 d r C r2 = k2+ s2 eye t d = (k+d) - k CSE 681

  20. Ray-Sphere Intersection - algebraic x2 + y2 + z2 = r2 P(t) = eye + t*Ray Substitute definition of p into first equation: (eye.x+ t *ray.x) 2 + (eye.y+ t *ray.y)2 + (eye.z+ t *ray.z) 2 = r2 Expand squared terms and collect terms based on powers of u: A* t 2 + B* t + C = 0 CSE 681

  21. Ray-Sphere Intersection (cont’d) For a sphere with its center at c A sphere with center c = (xc,yc,zc) and radius R can be represented as: (x-xc)2 + (y-yc)2 + (z-zc)2 – R2 = 0 For a point p on the sphere, we can write the above in vector form: (p-c).(p-c) – R2 = 0 (note ‘.’ is a dot product) Solve p similarly CSE 681

  22. Quadratic Equation When solving a quadratic equation at2 + bt + c = 0 Discriminant: And Solution: CSE 681

  23. Ray-Sphere Intersection b2 – 4ac <0 : No intersection b2 – 4ac >0 : Two solutions (enter and exit) b2 – 4ac = 0 : One solution (ray grazes the sphere) CSE 681

  24. Determine Color Use z-component of normalized normal vector FOR LAB #1 Clamp to [0.3..1.0] N objectColor*Nz What’s the normal at a point on the sphere? ray eye CSE 681
